Top Canadian prospect Jordan Mein (22-7 MMA, 0-0 SF) is Strikeforce-bound.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) has confirmed with sources close to the promotion that Mein has signed a four-fight deal with the organization and is expected to debut at an as-yet-unannounced Sept. 10 event.
Mein's opponent has yet to be determined.
Just 21 years old, Mein is already a seasoned veteran of the sport with 29 fights under his belt. "Young Gun" currently carries a five-fight win streak – a run that includes victories over big-show veterans Josh Burkman, Joe Riggs and Marius Zaromskis.
Mein has been fighting professionally since 2006, and while he opened his career just 3-4, he has since won 19 of his past 22 contests. Nineteen of Mein's 22 career victories have come via stoppage, including 12 by knockout.
A second-generation fighter, Mein is the product of the Canadian Martial Arts Centre, a gym owned and operated his father, Lee Mein, and that first operated out of the basement of the Mein house.
